Ontario picked up the milk bag challenge; the response has been outstanding. Region upon region brought milk bags to this years conference in Pembroke. But one region stood out beyond the rest, Congratulations Brant Haldimand Norfolk for donating TWO pickup trucks full of milk bags.

This region will receive 5 free registrations to next year's conference as a thank you for participating in this contest.

We have a wonderful Social Justice Initiative going on in the Dufferin-Peel Region. It's called "Milk Bags Unlimited 2.0". We will be having a demonstration at the conference, of this volunteer work that is helping those in need. You can see the video on our Facebook page - OAPCEConference&AGM.

To aid in this wonderful work, we are asking those attending the Conference to bring milk bags from their Regions (the large outer bag from the 3x1L bags). Our goal is to add 1000 bags to this cause. And yes, there will be a prize for the most bags brought to the conference!

Can we reach our goal? Yes!! it's more than possible!
